HELP THE PROFESSIONALS:

CART SCORERCart Drivers follow a group of players in a cart for the entire round as an unofficial scorekeeper. During the round, they keep unofficial scores for each player in their group, and, after every hole, cart drivers send scores to Real-time Scoring via a two-way radio provided by the Tour. Volunteers needed FRIDAY, SATURDAY & SUNDAY.

SCOREBOARDS & LEADERBOARDScoreboard volunteers receive scores via a PDA (a small wireless device) and verified scorecards from the Tour staff and post those scores on the Scoreboard. Leaderboard volunteers receive scores via a PDA and continually update the Main or On-Course Leaderboards with the information provided by the PDA. Volunteers needed FRIDAY, SATURDAY & SUNDAY.MARSHALMarshals assist with minimizing the potential distractions caused by fans attending the tournament. They also direct cart traffic in heavily congested areas or on blind approaches to a tee, fairway or green.

They are also responsible for bringing players from the parking lot to the course. Volunteers needed FRIDAY, SATURDAY & SUNDAY.

REAL-TIME SCORING COMPUTER OPERATORThe Real-time Scoring Computer Operator enters the scores and statistics that have been recorded by the Radio Operator (described below). The data collected is entered in a PDA or laptop computer. This position requires dexterity and basic computer knowledge. Volunteers needed FRIDAY, SATURDAY, & SUNDAY.

REAL-TIME SCORING RADIO OPERATORThe Real-time Scoring Radio Operator answers radio calls from the Cart Driver who is following each group on the course. The Cart Driver provides the scores and statistics for each player after every hole to the Radio Operator. The Radio Operator records this information on a form provided by the Tour. This information is then entered into a computer or PDA (a small wireless devise) by the Computer Operator (described above). The data is then automatically uploaded to the Internet.

SCORING TENTScoring Tent volunteers verify each scorecard in the Scoring Tent after the player has completed their round. Volunteers needed FRIDAY, SATURDAY & SUNDAY.

SPOTTERSpotters act as “forecaddies” or “advance scouts” by assisting the professionals in locating wayward golf shots. Stationed near a fairway or a green, spotters watch each shot and help locate a ball in situations where the player may not have a clear view of the ball’s final resting position. Volunteers needed FRIDAY, SATURDAY & SUNDAY.

STANDARD BEARERSStandard Bearers walk the course and carry a standard-bearer sign which includes the names and scores of the players in a specific group. They confirm each player’s score with the Cart Driver and update scores on the sign as play progresses for the entire round of 18 holes. Shifts last as long as it takes to complete the round of golf. Standard Bearers work in two-person teams with one person at a time carrying the standard (standards weigh approx. 10-15 pounds). Volunteers needed SUNDAY ONLY.
